Rear window defroster started smoking and created a burning plastic smell. After turning off the rear defroster the rear window exploded/shattered in place. I see there is a recall in Canada, but not here. This is happening here and I have read of many others with same issue. Fire and broken glass is not safe and should be addressed

Vehicle was stationary on the street, parked. I entered it, and turned on my front and rear defrosters with the setting on "hi." I turned around and verified that my vehicle had not been hit nor was any damage at all apparent to me. At some point as I sat there with the car idled and the heated air reaching its maximum temperature, I began to smell some foul smell in the cab that I believed was exhaust entering the cabin. I rolled down the window. As I brushed the snow from the front and began to drive away, I heard a noise that I believed was the snow falling from the roof. However, as I rolled away, I noticed a louder-than-normal cabin. Upon looking behind me, I noticed the rear right window within the sliding rear cabin window had blown out. Upon inspecting the area, I noticed that no snow or water was present inside. Given that we had received a lot of snow the previous evening through the morning, had the damage occurred throughout the evening or early morning, there would've been moisture present.

Supposedly the brakes have been fixed for the recall, however, if I am driving as low speeds like in a parking lot, the ABS will kick in causing me to not come to a stop when needed. I have almost hit several vehicles due to this issue. I have issues with the radio working, specifically being able to adjust the sound level. I have issues with the mirrors being able to move like they should. Both of the electrical issues are permanent, it does not matter if I am parked or driving, they do not work at all. This is by far the worst vehicle I have ever purchased. The brakes have been occurring for years and there was no change when it was brought in for the recall. The most recent issue is now my evap system needs to be fixed. I can only imagine what that will cost to fix on a vehicle that only has 100,000 miles on it. Can't wait to get that bill!

Shortly thereafter, the rear, driver's side glass panel shattered. My vehicle has rear sliding glass and only the driver's side panel shattered. Smoke and burning smell was noticeable. After online research, I discovered the GM recall #N192220470 related to 159,000 Canadian vehicles. My situation matched the description of this recall exactly, but according to GM, my VIN# is not included in the recall. My vehicle is currently at my local Chevy/GMC dealer for diagnosis and repair, but they don't seem to have much concern about the safety failure and told me the repair is not covered by warranty. To me, this is a serious design flaw and poses a potentially dangerous safety issue.
